Summary:
The Lincoln County Schools district in West Virginia is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the schools share a common district, the data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools like Harts PK-8 and Midway Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others like Duval PK-8 and West Hamlin Elementary struggle to meet state standards.
The data also reveals a lack of racial diversity across the district, with the student populations being overwhelmingly white, ranging from 90.79% at Ranger Elementary to 99.15% at Duval PK-8. This lack of diversity may impact the educational experiences and opportunities for students. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending, from $11,171 at Midway Elementary to $17,664 at Ranger Elementary, suggest a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and student outcomes.
Overall, the analysis of the Lincoln County Schools elementary schools highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities in academic performance, promote greater diversity and equity, and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their school or background.
